Chapter 46: The Essence of Tai Chi
After a big meal, Qu Jian Lei slept beautifully, which was the sweetest sleep he had since coming to the wasteland.
When I woke up, I turned on the exhaust fan to ventilate, but I unexpectedly felt, "It's cooled down?" β
The temperature outside dropped to almost minus 40 degrees, which was extremely cold.
"It's good that I'm fast enough," Qu Jianlei muttered softly, "I'll have to add heat exchange to the ventilation system when I go back." β
Heat exchange saves a lot of energy, and although he is now abundant, he can't afford to spend too much.
Xiao Jing fell asleep soundly on the other side of the partition, breathing evenly.
Qu Jianlei put aside those distracting thoughts, washed up, and began to warm up.
Recently, he has been busy preparing for the winter, and he is really tired, and occasionally meditates and breathes, and carries the nameless qi refining technique.
"Baduan Jin", "Five Fowl Opera" and standing piles, on the contrary, have not been practiced, after all, the amount of activity every day is quite large.
After practicing the two sets of movements today, I was slightly warm, and then I started to stand on the pile.
As his physical fitness improved step by step, he spent more and more time standing on the pile.
But after standing for half an hour today, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I couldn't help but sigh.
"Sure enough, if you don't advance, you will retreat, if you don't practice for one day, you know, if you don't practice for two days, the master knows, and if you don't practice for three days, everyone knows."
Then he drank a cup of hot water, rested for a while, and took two more nutrients.
With the supplies he has stockpiled, he can eat and drink well every day, and there is no problem in getting through this winter.
Next, he was going to start meditating.
It is not advisable to eat too much when meditating, but it consumes physical strength, so it is more appropriate to take nutrients.
No wonder in those legends, cultivators always have to eat those heavenly treasures, and the calories provided by daily diet are really poor.
The heat was in his stomach, and he meditated cross-legged for a week, and felt used to it, so he took out a box.
Inside the box were six mutant beast crystals, five the size of a quail egg and one the size of a ping-pong ball.
The crystals of B-class mutant beasts are all red, but the colors are still a little different.
He adjusted his breath, took out the lightest B-grade crystal, and began to breathe around.
A familiar furious aura invaded his body again, followed by a familiar swelling pain.
This time the breath moved unusually smoothly, week after week, until five weeks later, he felt hungry.
When I opened my eyes, I found that it was Xiao Jing who was eating yesterday's leftovers, and the little guy actually knew how to heat it up on the electric stove.
Qu Jianlei glanced at him helplessly, raised his hand to pick up two nutrients, and squeezed them into his mouth.
Xiao Jing looked at him, and then looked at the rice bowl he was carrying, and frowned puzzled, the nutrients are so delicious?
Qu Jianlei meditated this time, spent a whole day, and ate six nutrients.
Even so, he was still hungry, and after the practice was over, he picked up yesterday's leftovers and snorted and ate a fine meal.
His stomach felt a little better, and he immediately started cooking againβit didn't taste good, but at least it was cooked.
After three days of doing this, the nutrients were drastically reduced.
The lightest B-grade crystal shrank by almost one-tenth.
Xiao Jing finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, "Brother Heitian, what is this punch you are calling?" β
Qu Jianlei replied while posing and preparing to stand on the pile, ""Eight Duanjin" and "Five Fowl Opera". β
Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, "After practicing them, can you become as powerful as you?" β
You really think too much about this, Qu Jianlei shook his head, "It's just for physical fitness, it's good for the body." β
Xiaojing asked again, "Can you teach me?" I want to learn too. β
Qu Jianlei really doesn't pay much attention to these two sets of actions, and he definitely doesn't mind others stealing from them.
But if you want to teach others, he is a little hesitant.
However, he hesitated for a moment and made up his mind, "I'll finish practicing today, and I'll start teaching you tomorrow." β
It's easy for him to think of Rogers, but the two are very different.
First of all, Xiaojing knows how to be in awe, don't look at his young age, but he knows very well what he can do and what he can't do.
He would rather starve half to death than hide the mutant beast crystal, because he knew very well that if he wanted to exchange that thing for money, he would definitely die.
Rogers didn't understand this, he just knew how to use all means to make his life better.
Secondly, Xiaojing can be helpful to Qu Jianlei, not to mention that they have cooperated in battles together, the important thing is that he has knowledge inheritance.
There are many doorways in the wasteland, Qu Jianlei has to count on him to tell himself.
With these two points alone, he could consider teaching the other party these two sets of methods.
It's just that he has already arranged today's schedule, and he can only wait for tomorrow, and obsessive-compulsive disorder is so clear-eyed.
When I taught Xiaojing the next day, it was a bit of a struggle.
Such a simple action, this guy is a bit difficult to learn, and it is always not so standard.
Qu Jianlei didn't mean to deliberately take care of it, and asked him to familiarize himself with a few dismantling actions first.
But after all, he is still young, Xiaojing's progress is very fast, and by the fifth day, the two sets of movements have basically been learned.
The point is that this guy is idle, he just practices over and over again.
And Qu Jianlei saw that he was practicing wrong, and couldn't help but give him some pointers again.
Since beating Xiaojing and starting to practice boxing and kicking, Qu Jianlei found one more thing, this guy ...... I can eat it more and more!
Xiaojing's amount of food used to be not small, and it was a bit of a "half-sized child, eating labor and capital".
Now he has either eight duanjin or five poultry plays every day, and the amount of food has at least doubled.
On this day, he actually wanted to learn to practice standing piles.
Qu Jianlei really can't bear it now, "Standing on the pile can teach you, but there are conditions to ......"
"Standing piles consume more calories than those two sets of movements, you can't practice these all day, or maybe we won't survive the winter."
It's an exaggeration to say that you can't survive the winter, but if you toss like this, there won't be much food left.
In Lanxing, the people who practice martial arts are all big themselves.
Of course, Xiaojing also knew that his food had risen sharply recently, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "But I have nothing to do." β
"Exercising too much is not good for your health," Qu Jianlei said, "You can find some work to do, or read a book." β
Don't look at this room is not big, if you really want to find a job, there is.
Xiao Jing also accepted such an arrangement, especially the consequences of over-exercising, which made him a little jealous.
So he only exercises four or five hours a day, and the rest of the time he does various jobs.
However, the amount of food he eats is still slightly increased - no way, standing on the pile really consumes calories.
When the door was closed for twenty days, half of the lightest crystal had been absorbed by Qu Jianlei.
According to this calculation, five B-grade crystals were enough for him to absorb for five months.
After settling this account, Qu Jianlei was really taken aback: fifty kilograms of gold, only enough for five months of cultivation?
He was able to get such a large sum of supplies, purely by shit luck, and picked up a secret silver medal from the dead man.
One hundred kilograms of gold, even if it is left in Blue Star, is equivalent to the total assets of more than a dozen middle-class families.
Such a huge fortune can be consumed in such a short period of time?
He was a little skeptical that his earning power could be enough to consume.
But then, he realized that things were not what he thought they were because he had hit a bottleneck.
The nameless qi refining recipe is now getting more and more perfect, and Qu Jianlei defines his current realm as the third layer of qi refining.
The third to fourth layers of qi refining should have broken through a small realm, and he was stuck here.
For three days in a row, he didn't feel any improvement, the key was that the crystals were also consumed very slowly.
On the contrary, there was some faint pain in the body and meridians from time to time, the feeling of being torn.
Because there was no one to guide him, it was all based on groping, and Qu Jianlei judged to himself: It may be that I have overcultivated too much.
Come to think of it, from the time he started cultivating to the present, it has been less than four months.
During this period, he was often wandering or fighting, and he had very little time to concentrate on his cultivation.
So this cultivation speed is really amazing, so much so that there is a backlash.
After making such a judgment, his mind immediately calmed down: Well, I remember what else I hadn't done?
Seeing Xiao Jing doing Baduanjin, he remembered, oh, by the way, I regretted not learning Tai Chi at that time.
The moment this thought came to him, his head began to swell.
Qu Jianlei hurriedly closed his eyes: I am familiar with this kind of thing.
Sure enough, Xiaohu reappeared in his mind again, with a big head and a small body, slowly turning.
Or is the hardware foundation poor? A flash of inspiration flashed in Qu Jianlei's mind, and the probe grabbed the mutant beast crystal again.
He didn't guess wrong at all, and the swelling pain in his head began to intensify, getting more and more painful.
And the speed of the small lake seems to be ...... With a little bit of improvement?
I don't know how long it lasted, but when he felt that the swelling pain in his head was unbearable, he let go of his hand.
Then the swelling pain settled at that point, and gradually began to recede.
Immediately afterwards, there was an inexplicable piece of information in his mind: "Tai Chi Essence"!
I knew it was going to be! A smile appeared on the corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth.
Xiaohu, is there "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing"?
The cartoon avatar disappeared quietly, without half a minute of hesitation, just as it appeared when it appeared.
Tai Chi Essentials...... Qu Jianlei read the information, and sure enough, it was the Tai Chi I was familiar with.
This essence is still very vague, just like the "Nameless Qi Refining Technique" he got at the beginning, and many places are vague.
But it's already very good, and he didn't study Tai Chi very seriously in Lanxing.
Tai Chi is famous, but ...... What does that have to do with me?
Now that I think about it, it's too late to regret it, but it's okay, Xiaohu has collected some information.
That's right, it was really collected by Xiaohu, and in this vague "Essence of Tai Chi", a lot of information is unheard of.
It was definitely something he had never mastered before, touching his knowledge blind spot.
It was as if he saw a new world.
It doesn't matter if you don't know anything, it's good to improve it slowly, he is familiar with this job.
Qu Jianlei slowly opened his eyes and looked at the mutant beast crystal in his hand, and sure enough, it shrank by a third!
